Sql 2000 database to Sql 2005 express db

I have a database that is on a SQL 2000 server, and I would like to make it a Sql 2005 express edition database.

The cleanest way would be to create a new database in SQL 2005 and import all the objects in.
You can also backup and restore into the SQL 2005 environment. That will work as well
